Fantastic Friday #237-Overcome

Overcome

³³ “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

I look back on the last several years of my life and reflect on where I have been. Does anyone else do this? But on this day I do it a little more intentionally than I have in the past. When you view the past, do you see the horrible things first, or do you automatically think of the wonderful things of this life. It is a challenge to look back sometimes because of the pain that you might have experienced at one time or another. I feel it is also a challenge to look back at the good things that might have happened throughout your life. You are probably asking, why it is challenging to think back to both the good and the bad. That thought is most likely due to the unknown future we have before us. I think a lot of times we hold our breath hoping for the best and sometimes experience trouble. So I take this moment to look back at being born into this world of sin and know in my heart that Jesus has already overcome this world for me. Praise God for the blessings he has bestowed on me and my family. Praise God for the peace that He gives me. So, for all of you, take heart because He has Overcome.
